Just to clarify, I applied for a CR1 visa (spousal visa) and my father in law was a joint sponsor. My father in law was 86 years old at the time. I don’t know whether it would change with any other type of visa (I have no experience of other visas!). My husband had zero income at the time so the income requirement was satisfied using my father in laws income alone. I don’t whether it made a difference that I was able to prove I had a substantial amount of savings when I moved and was capable of supporting myself and my husband. The question of the age of my joint sponsor, my father in law was never brought up at my appointment at the embassy. Hope this helps! 

I’m not able to find any info stating an upper age limit. What we need is someone who has had experience of having a joint sponsor being rejected for that reason. Anyone?

Hi,
I'm in the same boat as you! I entered the US Aug 27th and am yet to receive my SSN. What I didn’t realise until now is how hard it is to do anything without one! I called social security customer service and the lady I spoke to was totally clueless about spouse visas and kept repeating to me I needed to check with homeland security as to whether I am permitted to work at all! She gave me the number for my local office but as with much of the world right now, it is closed due to COVID. I do intend on ringing them tomorrow but I am also quite annoyed about the fact that I requested a SSN that should have been generated by the system and have to either go through the trouble of doing it myself or going without basic things such as a drivers license! I am in the fortunate position of not having to work right away, but in a couple of months my international drivers license won’t be valid anymore and I can’t get a US license with a SSN 😩

Super lucky OP! We were nearly just as lucky! 79 days from NOA1 to NOA2! Still in shock
